I dig their collaborations with Tiesto thus far, good post. But Tegan & Sara videos typically have nothing relevant in content that warrant placement in the 'gay' channel. Mentioning their sexual orientation practically every.damn.time they are featured in a clip here on the sift is an annoying distraction from the content itself. C'mon!

Your welcome IV. Tegan and Sara are great songrwriters

Are you honestly claiming someone who is a fan of Sara Palin is likely to have reasonable thought out beliefs to back up their support of her? ... So WP, can you elaborate more on why you semi-kinda-sorta support Palin?

I VERY much agree with Palin's 'small government' talking point. We need more politicians discussing reductions as opposed to increases. The USA is in a 'government bubble' just as dangerous as the dot.com or housing bubbles. Like it or not, Palin is about the only person in the GOP today that is pushing the 'scale back government' talking point. McCain sure wasn't. I'm a 'fan' of any politician who has a record of cutting, and who considers government scaleback as a major issue.

I also VERY much like it when when Congress is held by the opposing political party to the President. That check & balance works fantastically. When one party is running the whole show it is always a bad thing (Bush & Obama's agendas are prime examples). I'm not a GOP party member. I tend to vote 3rd party. But in off-year elections as a matter of principle I will always vote for the Congressman/Senator who is of the major opposing party to the sitting President. So I'm in favor of anything that gooses the GOP into the House & Senate in 2010 if only to throw the whole system into complete gridlock. If Palin motivates Independants and the GOP base (and it seems that she does) then I support it.

fundamentalist-neo-con camp

The true 'neo-cons' are left-wing politicians who support the military. Joe Liberman is a neo-con. You are using the lazy, propoganda definition of neo-con, which is to use it as an epithet similar to denigratory racial or sexual terms. To a left-wing liberal, 'neo-con' is a word you can slap on anyone who tilts right on any issue. Less spending? Neo-con. Limits on late-term abortion? Neo-con. Tax cuts? Neo-con. This stems from the practice in the 1990s when Bill Clinton's War Room posse would run out and call all political opponents 'neo-cons' in order to conjure of images of Timothy McVeigh or other people that live on compounds. It isn't your fault perhaps to have fallen into this trap. However, now that I've revealed the truth it will be your fault if you choose to remain in the lie. Palin supporters are not 'neo cons'. They are plain folk who agree with her on issues which disagree with radical left-wing politics.

So you too are in the iron grip of Big Fast Food?

I enjoy the occasional indulgence, but as a user of the P90-X system I am not an abuser. At 6 foot 1 and 170 pounds with a 32" waist at age 40, I consider myself in reasonable shape and therefore able to partake of a pizza now and then without shame.

I think a lot of people have difficulty comprehending a different world view. Generally the folks who support Palin and her ilk care much less than folks on the left about the sort of rational arguments, that the interviewer is prompting for. To folks in her camp, it's more about "character" and trusting people to act in line with your "values". Why should they conform to the lefts rules of how to make decisions?

WPs ref to Bullshit is apt, but I think WP underestimates how incoherent most people are when asked to actually explain their beliefs and preferences. This works across the political spectrum, but folks in the fundamentalist-neo-con camp don't have any cultural incentive to self reflection, and so it's harder to cherry pick the "coherent" ones, because that sort of coherence does not, in general, matter to them.

While there may be valid reasons for supporting Palin, there's none contained in the brains of any of these folks
Well, as I said before - that isn't hard to do when you're a biased 'interviewer' who is cherry picking who does and doesn't make the cut of your video. That's what propogandists do though. Ignore the 99 normal, sensible folks and pick the one or two people who say things you can take out of context and massage into a message you like. That's why I disdain videos of this ilk - be they left or right. People who think stuff like this represents anything but an outlier fringe are self deluded and are only two hairs and some air away from being in a similar video themselves.

Interviewer: "So, if Sara Palin gets ellected what kind of changes would you like to see?"

Interviewee: "Stuff. Uuuuum, and things."

Interviewer: "Like what things?"

Interviewee: "Uuuuuuu, I don't know...."

Interviewer: "What do you like about her?"

Interviewee: "Oh! Her policies!"

Interviewer: "Like what kind of policies?"

Interviewee: "Can I get some help here guys?"

Interviewer: "What policies of hers do you agree with?"

Interviewee: "Um, I don't know, where are you going with that?"


Wow, just wow.

So this is how intolerance starts. Fascinating. There is so much wrong with this video its hard to know where to begin. Holy shit.

Sara, get new friends...you don't want these two. They're not even ripe yet and have already spoiled.

It shows that with a bit of help the good stuff can get through even at 15 votes. I just wish we have a better system to help the more obscure stuff. But I guess it's back to 10 votes soon...
